Don't just take My word for it 

Glen | Minneapolis, MN

"I was in a rush to have a modern, high quality headshot for business. Shannon did an incredible job! She was very easy to work with, creative and made the whole experience enjoyable. We even did a few other casual (dating) shots taking advantage of downtown Minneapolis stores and restaurants as backdrops. Highly recommend!"

From answering all my questions beforehand to making me feel relaxed during the shoot, everything was seamless. The turnaround time was so quick, and when I shared the photos with my dating coach and group, the feedback was incredible—everyone raved about the quality and how stunning the photos turned out. Shannon truly captured my personality and beauty perfectly!"

Success stories

"I met my girlfriend of almost 4 months pretty quickly after I updated my profile, she was the first person I dated. So my dating journey started with a bang and I have been with the same person since."

When Ryan first reached out for a professional dating photo session, he wanted images that truly reflected who he was—confident, approachable, and authentic. He knew that first impressions matter on dating apps but wasn’t sure how to showcase his personality in a way that would attract the right kind of connection.

After updating his dating profile with his new photos, Ryan immediately saw a difference. He met someone right away and was in a relationship soon after. While that connection eventually ran its course, the experience gave him clarity on what he was looking for in a partner.

When Ryan re-entered the dating scene, his updated profile continued to work for him. This time, he connected with someone new—and this relationship feels different. He describes it as strong, exciting, and full of potential.


Ryan’s experience is a perfect example of how dating photos aren’t just about looking good—they’re about attracting the right kind of people for you. His photos didn’t just help him stand out; they helped him attract connections that were genuinely interested in who he was.

Now, as he builds this new relationship, Ryan credits his professional photos for helping him feel confident and intentional throughout his dating journey.

If you’re ready to enhance your dating profile and attract meaningful connections, let’s create photos that tell your story.

Ryan's dating journey started with a bang!

How Professional Dating Photos Helped Ryan Find Love (Twice!)

From First Match to Finding the Right One

Why Professional Dating Photos Matter

"The photos have been well-received. I would say I'm getting more interest since they have been posted."

Kerry's Profile Transformation: More Interest, More Opportunities

When Carolyn decided to re-enter the dating world, she knew first impressions were everything. Like many singles navigating online dating in Minneapolis and St. Paul, she struggled with finding the right photos to showcase her authentic self. That’s when she discovered Shannon Kathleen Photography, a professional dating photographer specializing in authentic, confidence-boosting portraits for dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, & Hinge.

The result? A profile that not only stood out—but also led her to Kevin, the love of her life.

Carolyn wanted dating profile photos that felt natural, inviting, and true to who she was. With my guidance, we designed a session that highlighted her personality—her love for the outdoors, her passion for cooking, and, most importantly, her genuine smile.

By incorporating a mix of professional dating photos and a few personal snapshots, her profile felt polished yet authentic. And then… she met Kevin.

When Kevin first saw Carolyn’s profile on eHarmony, one thing stood out to him instantly: her smile.

"She just looked happy—like she was genuinely enjoying herself," Kevin recalled.

Two photos in particular caught his attention:
✔️ A cozy photo of Carolyn on her front porch with a cup of tea
✔️ A relaxed shot of her in the kitchen, enjoying a glass of wine

These weren’t just staged images—they felt real, inviting, and full of warmth. From those photos alone, Kevin could tell Carolyn was someone who loved life—and that made him want to know more.

One of the biggest takeaways from Carolyn’s experience? Your dating profile photos should tell a story about who you are.

Carolyn chose photos that highlighted her passions—travel, nature, and meaningful experiences—which aligned perfectly with Kevin’s interests. Instead of just showcasing her appearance, her dating photos painted a picture of the life she lived.

Kevin later admitted: “It was like all the pieces of the puzzle just fit. Her photos matched exactly what she wrote in her profile. I could see myself in that life, too.”

Reflecting on her experience, Carolyn says investing in professional dating photography in Minneapolis was one of the best decisions she made.

While she included some personal snapshots, the high-quality dating portraits we captured together brought out her most confident, relaxed, and approachable self—helping her attract the right match.

"A lot of people struggle with how to present themselves online," she said. "They get discouraged and give up. But finding love isn’t impossible—it’s just about putting yourself out there in the right way."
